Remote
control troubleshooting:When you
have a remote control that does not work---some buttons either do or do not
work correctly the most common cause for this is something got spilled on the
front of the remote--it does not have to be a large amount.The way
all infrared remotes work is there is circuit board inside with black carbon
lines etched on it--this includes lines for each funtion.The
buttons on the outside of the remote are actually one large rubber like mat and
on the bottom side are coated black button like parts---when you press a button
on the keyboard--the button part on the bottom of the mat touches lines on the
circuit board and directs the remote to send a infrared signal to the unit it
conrols.In this
situation you have two choices---1.) Most
remotes can be taken apart and cleaned for this problem--I have done hundreds
of them.a) Once
you get the remote apart (the hard part) the rubber mat should lift freely off
of the circuit board--if you peel it off and feel resistance---you will see
whatever residue of what was spilled and got under it--gets between the board
and the bottom of the mat.

b) The
surface of the board where the lines are can be cleaned with denatured alcohol.c) To
clean the mat, remove it completely and with a small toothbrush and dishsoap
gently rinse it and clean all the residue off the bottom.Dry it with compressed air and or a hair
dryer set for cool only.When it is
completely clean and DRY put it back into the face of the Remote.If there was a spill you may also find
residue in the openings where the buttons on the mat protrude to the front of
the remote--a good idea when it is apart to clean that and dry it also.d) Put
the remote back together and see if it now works---Your
secondchoice is to borrow another
remote for the same kind of unit and see if it works normally---if it does and
cleaning does not fix the problem--YOU WILL NEED TO buy a remote to replace the
bad one.If a
known good remote does not work, it is possible the problem is in the unit and
not the remote--NOT VERY LIKELY but it can happen.SD

I have just managed to do this. I cannot tell you the code as I had to do it manually, but this is how I did it.

point the remote away from the TiVo and hold down the clear button and the to button until the free light flashed twice.

type in the code 0999 and the light will flash again. Then point the remote at the to and press and hold the channel up button. You will now scroll throw all the codes.

it will take about a minute but eventually the to will go off. When this happens release the channel up button and hold down the green on button to try turn the tv on with the TiVo remote.

if it comes on press ok and this will store the code. If it doesn't come on, use the blaupunkt to remote to turn the tv back on and then keep holding down the channel up button to scroll through more codes. When the to goes off again release the channel up button and try turn it on with the TiVo remote. If it works this time store the code by pressing ok

for me it took two attempts to turn the to on but eventually it worked on the second code

Hi,Lets check remote is working or not.Watch remote front through any digital camera and press buttons on remote, if you see blinking light on remote front that means remote is sending infra red signals and if no blinking light then remote is defective and no way to fix it.Thanks.

To access settings push either of the right side buttons from the main default screen
Push the red button
use the right buttons again to scroll to watch
Push the red button
Right buttons again to choose time
Push red button

The Right side buttons scroll through choices, the red button is your chooser/ confirmation button. The left side bottom button will return you to a previous screen.

Hi,Two things are involved to cause that problem, tv remote control and remote sensor in tv.Upon verification of remote working, it would be confirm that remote sensor in tv is defective and need to be replaced.Remote control sends infra red light signal to tv and we can not see that light with naked-eye, so need digital camera or cell phone camera to see it by watching remote front through camera, press any keys on remote, if you see infra red light is blinking in remote front that means remote is working and remote sensor in tv will be replaced.If no light blinking on pressing remote buttons confirm that this remote is defective and buy new remote.Let me know if you have additional question.Thanks.

cableman try this exactley to the "T" with the instructions in front of you. The procedure resets your monitor to factory settings. On step 13 use the factory setting on the right side menu block not the left. It may or may not work if you have a bad board or eeprom.

Try this: On the Tivo remote press and hold the TV Power button and the Directv/TIVO button at the same time. Hold both buttons down for about 4 seconds or until remote light stays red. Then press the channel up button until the tv turns off. You may press the button over 100 times. You need to go slow. When the TV turns off press the enter button (or select button).
